I wonder if you suffered this problem: KB831374

It is what happened to an SBS2003 box I look after, even though it
doesn't exactly match the criteria specified in the KB article, basically
a faulty version of chkdsk causes the filestore permissions to be reset
in a seemingly random manner.

I'm in the process of determining the best way to reset permissions to
how they need to be, rather than just carpet bombing them with setup
security.inf! Ideally I plan to dump the settings from a standard freshly
installed SBS server to a template, then use that instead. I'm just not
convinced that setup security.inf has the right settings for a SBS setup,
given that it's nearly Windows Server 2003, promoted to a DC, has
exchange and sharepoint on it etc. etc., all of which must have an effect
on the resulting file permissions.

Anyone got any other insight?
